20 Rainbow Activities for Little Learners

Rainbow Activities for Little Learners

Rainbow Activities for Little Learners

I have a slight obsession with rainbow activities.  As a preschool teacher, rainbow activities are one of my favorite things to do with my little learners.  I love rainbow science experiments, rainbow crafts, rainbow books, and rainbow artwork.  In fact, my classroom is covered in beautiful rainbow colors.  While March is the perfect month to incorporate these rainbow activities for little learners, you can actually use a rainbow theme at any point in the school year.  These are even great at the beginning of the year during your colors unit.  Keep reading for some of my favorite rainbow activities, and be inspired!
